In recent years, researchers have been exploring methods of interacting with animals in an attempt to understand how they really feel about their lives.
Dr. Ian Duncan, emeritus chair in animal welfare at the University of Guelph, Canada, claims to have developed a system that allows him to ask questions of and receive answers from animals. Years of research using a variety of subjects, from livestock to domestic pets, has allowed him to develop the process, which he says is purely scientific.
"We are devising ways of 'talking' to animals and putting questions to them about their welfare and happiness," said Duncan."Each species has to be treated differently but the common factor is to devise tests where the animals are offered a choice. If they make the same choice repeatedly . . . it shows what they want from us."
Dr. Duncan has been a campaigner for animal rights for many years, voicing strong opinions on the subject of religious slaughter for halal and kosher meat, and conducting research which has led to positive improvements in the methods used to intensively farm chickens and pigs.
He said he believes that all living creatures have a personal perspective on their surroundings and living conditions, even farmed fish like trout or salmon.
"It used to be thought that animals were 'dumb', driven by programmed instincts and responses, but now it is clear they live a much richer life than we ever realised and can remember the past and think about the future. We can use that knowledge to ask questions about their care and then improve it."
Duncan originally hails from Scotland but now lives in Ontario; his new theories on the science of animal welfare and sentience are to be presented at a conference in Washington. His views are shared by Con Slobodchikoff, an animal behaviorist and professor emeritus at Northern Arizona University, who has also devoted much of his career to the pursuit of enhanced communications with our four-legged and feathered friends.
Though his research has encompassed a broad range of species, Slobodchikoff has chosen to focus on the prairie dog because he has determined that these creatures use a very sophisticated form of language. Using complex statistical analyses of their cries, taking into account the acoustic qualities and the context in which they were uttered, Slobodchikoff believes that he has been able to perceive the meaning of each call. A video of prairie dogs communicating accompanies this article.
" I started looking at the social system of prairie dogs -- and prairie dogs have a very complex social system. They have alarm calls, which they give when they see a predator. And the alarm calls turned out to be a Rosetta stone for me, in the sense that I could actually decode what information was contained within the calls," he said.
" The animals have word-like phonemes, combining those into sentence-like calls. They have social chatter," he explained." They can distinguish between types of predators that are nearby -- dogs, coyotes, humans -- and seem to have developed warnings that specify the predators' species and size and color."
Slobodchikoff is certain that many other species, including whales and dolphins, will also be found to use very advanced forms of communication, but it is far more difficult to study them in such detail.
"That's a problem with studying things like whale and dolphin calls, because they occur below the ocean surface where we can't really see what's going on," he commented. " So we can hear their vocalizations, but we aren't really sure what their context is. And you need to have the context in order to crack the code -- it's the context that allows you to decipher the meaning of the message."
Slobodchikoff has used artificial intelligence techniques to record prairie dog language, and computer programmes can now analyze the calls and convert them into English. The technology can also convert English into "prairie dog" language. It is hoped that eventually, small devices could be developed that would allow people to converse with their own pets in the same way.
"I think we have the technology now to be able to develop the devices that are, say, the size of a cellphone, that would allow us to talk to our dogs and cats," revealed Slobodchikoff." So the dog says "bark!" and the device analyzes it and says, "I want to eat chicken tonight." Or the cat can say "meow," and it can say, "You haven't cleaned my litterbox recently."
For those of us who have always believed in the sentience of all living things, this is very welcome news. Treating our fellow creatures with greater respect, and understanding their unique perspective on the cycle of life, has to be a positive step for the human race towards greater enlightenment. To be able to communicate with and comprehend the needs of animals, birds, fish and insects would surely expand our consciousness to new levels, and unveil a whole new world here on earth.

Yahoo!!! It's about time! Get ready for signs and t-shirts saying the like of "My pet calf hates McDonald's!" or "My morgan cries when he smells glue."
Jesus was right (of course) and so was Einstein: Vegetarianism is Humanism.
Maybe we will uncover a growing plot against humans for our inhumane and brutal treatment of them, but be able to turn the tide in time and all live in love.
Chris71, you're spot-on. I know I could not eat something I could communicate with, even in a rudimentary language.So maybe I won't order those steaming fajitas today for lunch and instead get a vegetarian bean burrito. If scientists ever figure a way to communicate with vegetables and plants, I'm in big trouble, tho!
So, we should limit our consumption to beings that we can't understand? Addressing Mish's comment on vegetables, the vast majority of creatures, even plants, can communicate in some form or fashion. Where would one draw the line? Frankly, I think using whether or not scientists have decoded a particular species' language to be a poor metric for that...
Earlier article on Slobodchikoff's work:
"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent." ~Qui-Gon Jin
Intelligence doesn't matter either way, and pain and suffering doesn't hurt any less if you're stupid. Besides Im pretty sure Qui Gon was talking about people, not animals. Being human shouldn't make us think we're entitled to do whatever to whoever we please. Maybe we should do our best to ensure the food we eat has a healthy happy life before it gets to our plates. For no reason other than they are alive and deserve that right as much as we do.
The quote was meant to be facetious, my apologies for forgetting the appropriate emoticon. ;)
And I took that to be the point behind Duncan's research Chuck, he dosen't seem to be telling us not to eat critters, but seems to be trying to ascertain their more immediate welfare. Death isn't so much the problem, it's how we treat life that's important...
I agree Matt. No need for the emoticon, I should lighten up a little.
The subject of food and animals has been on mind quite a bit recently, and Ive recently given up eating meat. The way we treat the animals we eat discusts me and I just feel like theres no way to stop it. I think this is most upsetting to me because I dont understand why most people have to identify with something in order to have compassion for it. Hopefully this research will help to change something for the better.
Sometimes I feel that how we feel about what we eat is more important than what we are eating. I mean this in the context of appreciating the plant or animal, and also acting as humanely as possbile towards other living things. Ancient and indigenous peoples often considered plants and animals that gave them sustenance as sacred. The problem today is that life in general is not considered sacred and is cheap, except in terms of human life, and we also tend to fall short there as well.
Whether you are vegetarian or omnivore, give thanks for those living things that help you to thrive and be healthy to live your life.
We're not really even very good at listening to and understanding what other humans speaking the same language are saying. People get conned all the time by smiling faces telling lies. It's great there are people attempting to understand other animal communications but our human world is chock full of deceivers. The best at that are the ones that have the lion's share of the money and rule our countries because the rest of us aren't discerning enough to know when we're being conned. I'd love to have a computer device that would tell us what other people are really saying when they speak.

Quoting Louigi Verona :
> Those guys should check out my album, this is exactly why I made it - to
Hello. This is great ! Reminds me of my copy of "trancentral four a
trip to goa. In the mix with Tsuyoshi Suzuki", Doof, Bass Chakra, etc
I notice music productions rarely contain logo's of services and/or
applications used to produce them, but films and video games do ...
Nvidia and Avid logo's !
Here is my "review" of your album keeping Linux audio use in mind.
Note I was listening to this with an ear attuned to the production
techniques and mastering heard on places like Proton Radio -
http://protonradio.com/ - and recent mixes such as The Konstrukt by
Danny Oliveira a talented Miami/Brazilian DJ/Producer -
Elementary Waves ... problem with intro. not as high quality as later
on in the track, but gets good ~3:30 minutes where you start using the
A note here. 303 and Distortion ? Distortion filter can make a massive
difference to the 303 sound. The 303 in Rebirth could do some REALLY
strange things, don't know how that compares to a real 303 because
I've never used one, but plan to get a 303 clone -
Another reality. Nice use of synth !
Production in this one - this is gonna be honest, but please remember
I'm taking something in isolation here, and only this track.
Percussion sounds are too regimented (think of those bad MIDI demo's
that come with some software) and need to be made more dynamic, richer
and randomised - see blog post -
Incredible Things - hey breakbeat ! Again there's some fine detail and
depth missing in the breakbeat. But this track sounds nicely upbeat
with good use of sample and composition.
Solar Traveller - hang on, this break beat is MUCH better. You should
probably look into exactly why that is, and keep on doing it. Rolling !
Seaside - sorry got distracted when listening to this one. I'll go
back to this later.
North Pole - I can hear this one being played on Proton Radio -
http://protonradio.com/ - and it would stand up nicely amongst all the
other tracks.
Acid Astronautic - love the 303 in this, very spacey. Goa Trance. the
drum/percussion could maybe be a bit more dynamic or randomised but
that may just be my own personal listening tastes.
Uranium - this is a good rich sounding 303 line that starts this. This
is the best one. This should be first track on your album if you ask
me. It really sounds like it could have been produced on Mac, Windows
or Linux, or a recording studio.
Was thinking some more about this. I think in a lot of track
production the trick is the final mix down and mastering that gives
everything that "silky smooth" sound. It's a work of art like a
painting, a well designed building or a cordon blue/Gourmet meal -
Thanks for your album ! This is exactly where I am heading at the
moment. I want to produce quality dance music that will enhance
people's life's and help them. I started thinking of producing music
to be much like starting a good bakery. If it tastes and smells good
then it will sell. If I start putting the Linux logo on my releases,
well I don't know yet ;) You have also inspired me to look at modular
synths (Linux of course) for modelling the 303 sounds, and building
the PCF filter in Propellerhead Rebirth which I've never seen anything
else do. There are circuit diagrams available for the 303 which can be
worked from. I'll also check out Nekobee :)

Angling advice from around the Bend
Tom Chrobocinski
Things have been kind of hit and miss lately. I would try wading the backside of Mustang Island for trout and reds. Early on I would use a bone color Top Dog right against the shoreline. If you're into fly fishing, target the same area using poppers. Later I would move out deeper working the sand pockets with pumpkinseed soft plastics or tan/white clousers. Keep in mind that the bull red run is about to turn on in the surf. If you want to catch big jack crevalle try the first gut during a moving tide using live mullet or cut skipjack. You can also catch blues using the same baits.
Tom is a member of Team Oso and the Laguna Madre Fly Fishers of Corpus Christi.
ROCKPORT/ARANSAS BAY and NORTHWARD
Jim Friebele
If it's not too windy I'd try for trout at the mid-bay reefs of San Antonio, Copano or Aransas bays, either anchored up or drifting with live shrimp under a popping cork. You should catch reds in San Antonio Bay. Or use a Gulp in place of shrimp and aggressively pop that cork. You might catch drum if using shrimp. If it's windy, then anchor up on a windward shoreline and use shrimp mostly for drum. If you catch a skipjack, cut it up and use it for bait. Don't wait long for a bite. Keep moving.
Reach Jim 361-557-1651 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Capt. Levi Price
Fishing around Aransas Pass lately has been steady, with some days being stellar and others giving us a slow bite. I recommend using live mullet or mud minnows in the guts and drains during a low tide. I'd look for fish around the Hog Island area as well as across the bay at the marsh drains around St. Joe island. For lures, I'd suggest throwing purple chartreuse or opening night paddletails.
Reach Levi at 830-613-1865 or www.thefishtx.com
Capt. Mark Lyons
I'd recommend starting out targeting redfish on the flats near Dagger Island. For bait, use sea lice (mantis shrimp) or cut mullet while anchored up. Or throw a red/white Cacahoe Minnow while drifting. For trout, try wading the ship channel side of Dagger Island with green or morning glory Bass Assassins on lightweight jigheads in depths of three to four foot. There should be black drum there as well, so bring along some shrimp and a rattling cork.
Reach Mark at 361-318-2027 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Capt. Noe Garza
The fish have been moving around quite a bit lately. But there has been a mix of drum, trout, redfish and flounder around the Boathole. Either try drifting the flats with popping corks and live shrimp or anchoring around the perimeters of the Boathole and targeting the crash channels. If we get another couple of good fronts the Landcut should pick up. There are fish there now but many small fish and hardheads. The water needs to cool down some. For fishing the Landcut try fishing on the bottom with a mix of live and dead shrimp. Fishing along the drop-offs should produce a variety of fish.
Reach Noe at 361-991-0775 or www.captnoegarza.com.
Capt. Mike Morales
At first light, paddle northward from the JFK Causeway searching the shorelines of the spoils along the Humble Channel south toward the cabins. Look along the shorelines for tailing redfish, popping baitfish and scattered speckled trout. Toss root beer or brown with chartreuse colored paddletails or a three-inch Gulp Smelt under an eighth-ounce or quarter-ounce jighead into sand pockets surrounded by seagrass in depths of 2-3 feet. For natural bait anglers I suggest using an Alameda Rattling Float at a depth of two feet using live shrimp. Be safe and please wear your PFD.
Reach Mike Morales at 817-832-1045 or email@example.com
FRESHWATER (Coleto creek)
Capt. Gary Morris
The water level at Coleto Creek is down almost 2.5 feet, which is still good compared to most lakes in Texas. But it's low enough to cause the fish to move a little deeper than normal for this time of year. They are still cruising the outside edges of grass beds, and hitting white spinnerbaits and buzzbaits early, as well as shad imitation topwater plugs. As the sun rises, look deeper in the grass. Throw frogs on top of the mat and jigs or heavy tungsten weighted soft plastics that will punch through the top mat and get to the fish cruising in the shade below. Hopefully the schooling bass, around mid-lake will stay up a little longer as the surface cools. If you have any speck rigs, or double jig rigs, it's common to catch two at a time when they're schooling.
Reach Gary at 281-433-7947 or www.topwatercharter.net.

"Davis and Miller captures Obi-wan's transistion"
At the end of Episode III, Obi-Wan Kenobi is forced into hiding after believing that he killed Anakin in their confrontation. He took with him the infant Luke Skywalker and pledged to watch over him until the time was right. Episode VI (or, to us Gen-xer's, Star Wars) sees "Crazy Old Ben" Kenobi pulled out of hiding to finally lead the teen age Luke back out into space to fulfill his destiny.
In between, we have been left to wonder how Obi-Wan became Ben and what life was like for him. This book gives us, at last, the first part of the answer. Set in the months following the end of Episode III, John Jackson Miller takes us on a journey to see how Kenobi struggles to transform himself from the galactic hero to hidden away hermit. The change is not a smooth one for a man used to throwing himself into the action and coming to the rescue of those in need.
The book has been, I think fairly, been called more of a Western rather than a true "Star Wars" novel. But, in truth, it must be what it is in order to successfully deliver Kenobi's story. Tatooine is a remote world where the events of the Republic/Empire are largely third hand tales and life is governed by the efforts to "farm" moisture from the dry desert air while the real threats come from the Hutt's who run the planet and the native Sand People who fight the settlers over it.
The story is largely successful and mostly convincing. Where the story does fall short is in the final acts. The action becomes excessively complicated and feels like something Lucas would throw together as a bunch of unnecessary "wiz-bang". The final disposition of Kenobi, while it ends as it does because continuity requires it, doesn't really get him there in a way I could quite buy into. To say more would spoil things. Overall, it is worth checking out, so I don't want to give too much away.
As is my custom, I consumed this as an audiobook. As has been the case of late, the audio production is superb, and Johnathan Davis, as I've come to expect, does an excellent job bringing these characters to life. He is especially convincing as Kenobi - an iconic voice well known thanks to Ewan MacGregor and James Arnold Taylor's portrayals in the movies and Clone Wars TV series. Davis picks up Kenobi's voice and mannerisms seemlessly and probably makes me give this story it's fourth star when I might have been inclined to just give it three.
"A compelling look into WW2 from the "other" side"
This is not a book I would have normally found on my own. But, a good friend recommended it and I am most grateful that he did. It is a recollection of World War II that everyone should read.
These are the memoirs of Colonel Hans von Luck and in it he shares his experiences of his life as an officer in the German army leading up to and through World War II. It also gives his account of the five years he spent after the war in a Soviet POW camp and his eventual return to life as a civilian.
This book is not a glorification or romanticization of war. It is not a defense of Hitler's Germany, nor an apology. It is an explanation of how men who were patriots of their country had that loyalty twisted and abused in Hitler's quest for world domination. It is a view "from the trenches" and gives great insight into both the details of the battles von Luck fought in, and the thoughts and feelings of him and his men through the various stages of the war.
While I did find the narrative bog down from time to time with the details of movements during some of the campaigns, what really makes this book a standout are von Luck's insights into how the German army viewed the war as well as the descriptions of encounters that he had with his enemies both as captor and prisoner. von Luck also brings into this collection additional stories from his companions who got separated from him over the course of the war - of people he befriended in Paris during the time Germany initially occupied it, of subordinates captured by the Americans in North Africa and the time they spent in POW camps in the American Midwest, of the woman who was for a time his fiance before his capture and five year internment.
In war, governments seek to make their citizens see the enemy as something not human. von Luck makes nots of the Nazi propaganda machines efforts to make the German citizens see the Soviets as "sub-humans" at the time that Hitler broke his non-agression pact with Stalin and started the disastrous invasion of the Russian homeland. This book shows that all of these peoples - Russians, Germans, French, Brits, even the Americans - weren't just "others" but were men doing their best to follow the orders of the civilian leaders under difficult circumstances. It is a book anyone who would claim the mandate of leader of a country should read to better understand the human face of war and the young men whose lives are spent engaging in "politics by other means."
For the narration - Bronson Pinchot did an excellent job of bringing this story to life. His inflection, rhythm and accents really made me feel like Colonel von Luck was sitting down in the room with me and telling his story.
"An improvement from the second"
Scott Lynch takes us to the Moulin Rouge
After a breakout first book in this series, I found the second one something of a letdown. This time, Lynch returns to the formula that worked well for him in the first book. We again alternate storylines between Locke Lamora's youth and the present. And, at last, the mysterious Sabetha comes into the story in both the past and present storylines.
Overall, I would put this book as much better than the second, but still not quite up to the high level that the first one brought us. Having three of the "Gentlemen Bastards" in the main story rather than just Jean and Locke certainly helped with the interplay and I enjoyed the interlude storyline with the play – though I did get a large feeling of the movie "Moulin Rouge" with how a lot of it went along.
I am definitely enjoying the series enough again that I'm looking forward to book four. The ending of three leaves us with some interesting possibilities.
Once again, Michael Page's narration remains excellent and consistent. Characters from the first book who make appearances through flashbacks in this book carry the same voices. I appreciate that.
"Very good, but not quite as much as the 1st"
After being sucked in to Scott Lynch's world and characters with the first book, I immediately jumped to this second one.
The Lies of Locke Lamora was a great read, a great story, with a fantastic cast of characters and dialogue that made me curse every time I had to stop and take care of life.
With that setup, it was probably too much to expect a repeat of that success with this second one. The writing remains strong in itself, but I found the story and setting less engaging this time around. I think some of that comes from the way the first book ended. As we start book two, what had been five Gentleman Bastards has been cut down to just Locke and Jean. While their banter remains as barbed and quick as ever, there's something missing with it just being the two of them to play off each other. While the new characters that come in to play with this story have their moments, they are still ultimately outsiders.
Still, I don't want to be all negative - there is still much to enjoy with this story. Locke and Jean have fled to a new land working a new grand con that gets itself interrupted when Locke and Jean find themselves being caught up in a battle of wills between powerful men. The Bastards seem to be in much less control than in the first book. While their sharp wits and luck keep them going, this adventure is much more reactive than proactive.
At least, until then end. In the last 20% of the story, when I was sure the story was going to finish with some kind of cliff hanger that would need resolution in the next book, Lynch pulls a Brandon Sanderson with everything coming to a quick resolution and our heroes put aside the defeatism they had been suffering and conjure a solution to at least several of their difficulties.
Overall, I would still recommend it to those who enjoyed the first book. As I write this review, I'm downloading the third one so I can get going on it. I can't really offer a stronger endorsement than that.
"A great ride"
Wow! Alright, now this guy and tell a tale! After spending some time with a few fairly mediocre books of late, it was a true refresher to read a book like this. A solid, tight narrative with interesting characters in a world fleshed out enough to form a good canvas, but not bogged down with excessive detail.
Lock Lamora is a sharp witted and sharp tongued rouge who, along with his band of "Gentleman Bastards" make their way scamming the local nobility and staying one step ahead of the city's crime lord.
It is set in a world not terribly unlike our own renaissance age with just enough magic and alternate technology to bring this into the realm of fantasy.
The language, I'll grant, is rough in the sense that it makes GRR Martin's prose that of a choir boy. Still, it fits well within the world Locke Lamora inhabits.
A most engaging tale and I look forward to the rest of the series.
The audiobook is narrated by Michael Page who does an excellent job giving different voices to the characters and provides a suitable weight to the story with his narration.
"Interesting story, terrible structure"
This one had been sitting in my "need to read it someday" queue for a long time and I finally gave it a listen this week.
While the concept and characters were interesting, ultimately this story is deeply handicapped by Bram Stoker's narration technique. When the admonition to authors is "Show, don't tell", Dracula should be a textbook example of why. The whole story is "told" via a series of journals, diaries, telegrams,and newspaper articles - written to a supernatural degree of clarity and detail. The recorders of the various journals record dialog of the other characters to an exacting level - a contrivance that Stoker must engage in for the story to make any sense at all. The recorders have also generated a copious amount of notes and find all kinds of times to write things down. In the end, I had a much harder time suspending disbelief about the ability of everyone to write it all down than I did with the supernatural aspects of the story.
I can only hope that any author who reads this comes away with the clear understanding that it is a very poor way to tell a story.
This version was a multi reader cast put together by Audible. While I think that was probably the right choice, given all the points of view that are collected, it makes for an awkward presentation. For example, one narrator reads Van Helsing's journals in a voice that he created for that character. However, other characters journals who record Van Helsing's speeach in their own recordings use a voice for Van Helsing generated by the recording narrator - and none of them sound remotely alike. Now, it can be argued that each narrator recorded what they heard, but the disparity between then is jarring. Still, I don't think I would have made it through the book at all if it weren't narrated as an audiobook.
"Still suffers from the 1st person POV"
This one had been on my "need to read someday" list for a long time and I finally took the opportunity to see what all the hype was about. The book takes on something of an interesting structure - most of it is a first person narrative of Kvothe essentially sharing his autobiography. This first book covers his story from early youth part way through him time studying at the "Arcanum" - a university like school where Kvothe has made his way to study both practical and arcane arts.
This book is a little different from the typical first person narrative in that it starts and frequently returns to being a third person story - set in the "present" from when Kvothe is recounting his history to a man who collects such stories and has sought him out. This first book, particularly towards the end, suggests that this series may eventually move beyond a focus on telling Kvothe's history and moving forward again in the present. Hopefully, this change comes soon.
While Kvothe is a somewhat interesting character so far, the story suffers as all first person narratives do. It feels more like following a character walking through a very linear video game. Kvothe recounts a string of episodes that he goes through. Because he is the only character we follow directly, the author is burdened with having him carry all the action. This leads to a string of extraordinarily good luck as, while Kvothe has the occasional setback, he mostly goes along outwitting one hapless adversary after another. Combined with the fact that Kvothe is never in any real danger - since he's the one telling of the events many years after the narrative takes place - Kvothe is ultimately a diminished character and it is hard to really care about him as much as I'd like to.
I'll probably check out the next book at some point, but this experience didn't really leave me with a strong desire to immediately seek out the next book.
As an audiobook, I do have to admit the narrator did make the story much more bearable. I don't think I would have finished the book if I were reading a hard copy. Nick Podehl does an excellent job with the material he's given and brings more life to Kvothe and the other characters than the written text itself manages on its own.
"A solid second book, not as strong as the first"
After many years now (though, certainly not GRR Martin long) we finally get the next volume of the Stormlight Archive. The Way of Kings was a captivating book and showed me that Sanderson was the right man to carry on with Robert Jordan's style of epic fantasy - building on his lessons and taking them to new levels.
So, how does this second volume stand up? Overall, it was most enjoyable, though I don't think it quite measures up to the first book. Some of that is just perspective - TWOK introduced a whole new world with its set of characters, magic, and history. WOR builds on that and takes us deeper into the lives of the central players and expands upon what we know about this corner of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere.
The first four parts and the interludes that connect them are all quite solid and enjoyable. This book focuses more on Shallan as a character and we live through flashbacks of her history much as we did through Kaladin's in TWOK. She proves to be every bit as interesting a character with this book to help us get to know her better.
Where the book falls short, IMHO, is in the final section. It's hard to describe exactly what doesn't quite click with it. There is much going on and the juggling between viewpoints doesn't seem to be handled as well this time. Also, while I appreciate Mr. Sanderson's writing style and humor, some of the dialog and metaphors in the last section become a little to hokey and they threw me out of the story a few times. Perhaps once more through editing was needed for this last part.
Still, the book overall succeeds in taking us deeper into Sanderson's newest world and revealing both the potential of the epic danger and heroism that we can look forward to. From getting to hear him talk about the series at a recent book signing, I'm convinced for now that he knows where this series is going and I'm ready to continue on the journey. I still solidly recommend the series.
Audiowise - Kate and Michael once again given excellent performances. Having these two on board as the narrators together is always a treat.
"A solid effort and enjoyable tale"
I remember first reading this book, probably near the time that it came out. Trying to figure out how I even stumbled upon it - I finally concluded that it was probably a recommendation from the SciFi/Fantasy book club that I was a member of back then. Seeing that is had been recorded as an audiobook from the Audible Frontiers program, I decided to pay it another visit as I had vague, but favorable memories of the series.
So, enough history - what's it all about? Well, it is a bit of a different twist on the hero's journey. Paksenarrion starts off as a young woman who runs away from home to escape an arranged marriage that she has no interest in. Thanks to stories from her cousin, she races off to learn to be a fighter in a mercenary company. This first book focuses on her adventures of learning the ropes of being a soldier and the engagements her company get tangled up in. Along the way, Elizabeth Moon starts introducing the readers to the world she's created. While it's not the grand epic of Tolkein or Martin, I actually appreciate the rather lighter and more accessible nature of this by comparison.
The cast of characters is relatively small as well, with the story really focusing on Paks. That too, for me, is also a pleasant break compared to the heavyweights of fantasy and the hundreds of characters that you have to keep track of as any one of them may be important five books after we meet them. No, this is Paks' story and the other characters the come along serve their purpose in advancing her story.
I had not known until finding the audiobook version that Elizabeth Moon was a Marine before writing this first novel. It certainly shows as her writing provides a lot more detail into the efforts of training and the maneuvers of fighting than I typically see in a fantasy setting.
Overall, it's a solid book, especially for her first one. Probably the biggest weakness is the narrator. She speaks in a very clipped fashion. I can usually listen to audible at 1.25x speed without it having an impact on the reading quality. However, with this narrator, I had to slow it down to 1x speed to make sense of her. Audible has some very strong women narrator's, unfortunately, this book didn't draw one of them. Still, it wasn't bad enough for me to write off the series. In truth, the story remains interesting enough that I plan to go through the other two books again and most likely pick up the later novels set in this world.
"Common sense ideas presented in a novel way"
Louis Upkins is a Christian man and has written his book with this target audience in mind. Others can benefit from the general principles that he offers. However, that is his background and it is the history that he draws from in expressing his message.
And his message is simple and largely sensible. We claim that our families are the most important things in our lives, certainly more so than anything that goes on at our jobs. Yet, for many, actions speak louder than words and those actions are that when push comes to shove, the job comes first.
Mr. Upkins message is to bring the customer driven focus that leads to success in business back to the home life - to think in terms of customer service in our dealings with our families. On the surface, it sounds insulting. Surely we should think of our families better than customers. But, digging deeper, the focus of the books is more about using the techniques of customer service to make for more effective relations at home.
Overall, I think the advice is good. In listening to the author, I found myself already doing a lot of what he suggests - much of it seems obvious. Because of that, I find myself sympathetic to the message.
Structurally, I do think the book could actually be a good deal shorter, though it's not a long book to begin with. The introductory section in the beginning tends toward the repetitve. The last section also feels somewhat like filler - notes that the author wants to communicate, but that don't really fit in anywhere else.
The audiobook I listened to features the author doing his own narration. He doesn't have a future as a professional narrator, but reading his own material does give it an honest tone - this advice comes across as something that he really believes in and wants to share.
Overall, a decent read. While I don't think it's entirely original in its ideas, I do think it is original in its approach to presenting them.

Calvin Tillman Mayor of DISH,TX Public Speaking
I have been asked on several occasions, by folks around the country to come and talk about the air study here in DISH. It seems a bit odd to me, but it appears that tiny DISH, TX has been the only municipality to perform a study such as this. I will happily share our story here in DISH with anyone who would like to hear about. I firmly believe that the only way to change the current situation is stand together. I further believe that helping you, where ever you may be, will also help us hear in DISH. Therefore, if you are interested in hearing about our story please contact me directly to discuss the possibilities. I will not accept funding for any travel expenses or accept any compensation, but also need to know that my presentation would make a difference. I will travel anywhere at no cost to you, if I know it will make a difference. Please give me a call or send an email for details.

Split Estate
I have just watched the documentary Split Estate, regarding the natural gas drilling fields of Colorado and New Mexico. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has current or proposed drilling activity in their area. It was pretty disturbing, due to the fact that many of the folks highlighted in this video, had similar health impacts as the people in DISH do. This is a must for homeowner's and other neighborhood groups who are in the path of the natural gas industry. Please go to www.splitestate.com for more information.

In the inaugural issue of National Review, all the way back in 1955, William F. Buckley Jr. wrote that "A conservative is someone who stands athwart history, yelling Stop, at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it."
I am, in that sense as in others, profoundly a conservative. And this article and this article illustrate one of my reasons for being so.
I'm afraid that we're making an epochal, culture-altering, civilization-transforming decision on the basis of sentimentality and slogans . . . and precious little serious thought.
I might note, too, that the prophet Jeremiah was right. The term jeremiad has become a mode derision, but, in fact, Jerusalem was destroyed just as he warned it would be.

Senior Member
So i ended up buying Kassadin last night and I got to say, he seems like rubbish. While I'm sure if you get fed and do exceeding well he can be a viable hero, I still think he's underpowered. Though I guess I should give him a little more time...
I always ran Kassadin with Clarity and Teleport, until one game I accidentally had Cleanse instead of Clarity. At first I kept burning through my mana really quickly out of habit, but as I learned how to use my mana effectively, I found that Cleanse is amazing on him. With it he's one of those champions that is **** near impossible to kill, even without much HP. That makes Mejai's more powerful on him than it does on most. For him, sapphire crystals are the best investments. I always buy three: one for sheen (excellent early game harassment if you get it early enough), one for catalyst (better laning plus Rod of Ages, his most important item), and one for tear of the goddess. After I upgrade to RoA and Archangel's, I have a ton of mana to do whatever I want with - let no one say he is bad at farming - and enough AP to be helpful in team fights. For the lulz, I buy boots of mobility if I can afford not to get mercury treads. Yes, he's not the best early game laner from level 1-5, but if you can last until 860 gold without dying, it doesn't really matter. Buy sheen as soon as possible and teleport back, so you can blink -> attack -> null sphere -> attack -> force pulse -> attack. That's more harassment than any other solo mid can do, and he becomes a great farmer from that point on. In general, Kassadin's skills are great by themselves, so it's important to cover his weaknesses as soon as possible, as opposed to glass-cannoning it. I have magic pen marks, but health quintessances, and armor and magic resist per level for seals and glyphs.
dont bother trying to gank until level 9, you won't dish out enough hurt to finish anyone. rush mejais, if you're good you don't need catalyst until after mejais anyway. your main role is to go in exhaust ignite nullsphere forcepulse then rift walk out before you even get touched. so you can get that early kill to charge your mejais asap. i tried getting catalyst first with kassadin and it just takes too long to charge up ur mejais. with an amazing escape you shouldn't be dying mid game anyway which is also when you shine the most. recap lvl 9 should have mejais already and starting on catalyst have ignite and exhaust for those early kills kassadin CAN solo and somewhat carry with his burst damage once level 9 happens harrrass into enemy is at at least half hp. then do the combo above ignite exhaust nullsphere force pulse for max dmg it will net u ur first kill which will then snowball you this way has always worked with me. be wary of ganks though if you get ganked two or three times early game you're almost near useless late. >_> overall kassadin is fun to learn and is quite hard to master but with time it will come just like any other champion.
He's very weak up until level 6, extremely reliant on ganks, and can't really solo mid. That makes for a pretty handicapped combination. He's not garbage though, just not great.
I play Kassadin as my main. If you're able to Master Kassadin he can be anything you want him to be. Ganker, Burst Dps, Anti Caster... whatever. I generally stick with the recommended items, but upgrade Regrowth Pendant to Force of Nature early in the game, and I always make sure to get Trinity Force, (an upgrade of Sheen). With this build I end up with 1.975 attack speed, 489 movement, 150-170 melee, 35 ap, 190 armour, 135 magic resist...(give or take a little) Lets just say I can take down most hero's 1 on 1.... *laughs at Mordekaiser*. However, the one bit of advice i can give you is this: DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOUR TELEPORT! Teleporting behind someone repeatedly, during a melee fight seriously disorients them, and with each consecutive port you do more damage. FYI: his port does damage on the way out, and the way in... so teleport in the same spot, you hit doubly hard.
Maximum cooldown reduction and a colossal mana pool are fairly required, Spam teleport to win game.

Back in August of 2012, I reviewed a set of Bluetooth earbuds from Phiaton called the PS 210 BTNC. At the time I found them quite pleasant to use, that huge clip-on "remote" be damned. Fast-forward two years and Phiaton is back with the 210's successor, the BT 220 NC ($160). Here's the questionable part: the design is basically the same. While most Bluetooth earbud manufacturers have moved to a much smaller, more practical design, Phiaton is sticking to its guns with the wired remote.
Business owners already keep up with Yelp, as reviews can make or break sales. But at the end of the day, the mobile app remains a consumer-facing piece of software, encouraging users to check out which establishments are hot and leave their own feedback.
While Yelp isn't changing its main app, it has released a separate one that acknowledges how much attention the people running restaurants and stores pay to the service.
Fans of the classic SimCity franchise, today is... no, wait. EA has the license for SimCity, don't they? And this is an EA mobile game? Yeeeeeaaaaah, maybe you folks should just track down an old Pentium 4 machine and load up SimCity 2000 instead.
If Electronic Arts' terrible track record of reviving classic franchises for mobile doesn't dissuade you, then SimCity BuildIt is now available internationally from the Play Store. As with most EA games, it has had a brief period of geographically-restricted testing, but now it looks like most territories with access to the Play Store have access to the game.
The developers at Pushbullet seem to have some kind of strange compulsion that forces them to add cool new stuff to their Android-desktop syncing and notification app on a regular basis. Not that we're complaining - PushBullet is a personal favorite of many of us here at Android Police. Today it gets a little better still: the latest update to the Android app and various browser extensions adds the action buttons from Rich Notifications to the mirrored alerts on the desktop.
One of the new features we were promised to see in Android Wear 5.0.1 is the ability to retrieve a dismissed notification. Prior to this version, if you received a message, an app notification, or had any other card type appear on your watch, swiping it to the right would dismiss it with no option to get it back. Whether you swiped by mistake, or you did it and then remembered that you forgot to check or act on something in the notification, you ended up having to fish your phone and manage things there.
Millions of smartphones will be bought during the holidays and the new owners' urge to quickly fill them up with apps and games is a great monetary opportunity. That's why Google seems to be eager to cross off many of its carrier billing deals before the end of 2014. So after Saudi Arabia's STC and Indonesia's Indosat, direct billing is expanding to 7 new operators in Europe.
First of all, three new countries join the list with available carrier billing: Hungary with Telenor, Romania with Orange Romania, and Turkey with Turkcell.
LG was fast to toot its own horn after being the first OEM to (sort of) push out a Lollipop update. That original OTA only went out to Poland, but now users of the international D855 model are getting their updates all across Europe.
CBS's sports offering has gotten a tweaked look along with some meaningful functionality enhancements in its latest update, making it among the best options for an all-purpose sports app. Most notably, you'll see that it has a new Material Design-esque interface. Dive in further and you'll find new and improved basketball play-by-play, customizable alerts, and more.

Dr. Paul obtained his Ph.D. in Biological Psychology from the University of Oklahoma Health Science Center. He concurrently completed a re-specialization program in Clinical Psychology at Oklahoma State University, and subsequently completed a clinical internship and postdoctoral fellowship in Neuropsychology at Brown Medical School. Dr. Paul's research program is largely focused on understanding the contribution of subcortical brain systems to cognitive and affective behavior. Recently his work has focused on two conditions that provide opportunities to study subcortical brain systems, including subcortical ischemic vascular disease (SIVD) associated with advanced age, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The neuropathology of SIVD and HIV predominately involves both white matter and subcortical gray matter structures. His research studies typically incorporate neuropsychological tests to examine behavioral indices of brain function. These tests are weighted towards domains of function subserved by subcortical brain systems (e.g., information processing speed). Dr. Paul's research program has also increasingly incorporated structural neuroimaging to explore the neuronal integrity of brain systems. The neuroimaging aspects of his research program are conducted in collaboration with co-investigators based at Washington University School of Medicine.

Gregg County — The daughter of a Gregg County judge shot by his wife this past weekend says the case is about mental illness, not domestic violence.
"My mom is falling through the cracks and not getting the attention she needs," said Debbie Drayden of her mother, Ina Lawson, who remained in the Gregg County Jail late Monday. "This shooting was written on the wall."
Ina Lawson, 70, was jailed on charges related to the late Saturday shooting of her husband, Gregg County Pct. 4 Justice of the Peace Sam Lawson. On Monday, his condition was upgraded to good at Good Shepherd Medical Center, where he had been in critical condition. He suffered at least three gunshot wounds.

Hi! I'm brand new here and just bought my first home on the 17th! It's about 1000 ft bungalow. The master bedroom is pretty big, but my question is that it has two closets with those foldy shutter type of pull out doors. One is completely useless and the other is about to fall off. I have a very small budget and I am not organized enough to leave the doors off! Any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Check the door frames. Do you see markings for where the original hinges for "real doors" would have been? I'd get rid of the foldy things and get solid wood doors. Salvage yards always have tons of doors - reasonable price! |
- Posted by evaperconti (My Page) on Thu, Jul 31, 08 at 10:52
You can always run a curtain rod with curtains across the front of the closet. Sheets come in a variety of patterns and are very large pieces of fabric, and cheap too! The nice thing about a curtain is that it doesn't need any "swing" space to open. |

I just took the door OFF our closet yesterday and put up pretty lace curtains. My hubby about had a fit. BRAND NEW door and I an removing it. We had a bedroom that had three doors into it. Entry door bath room door and closet door. Took up too much wall space. We have the same here but I had them open entry door into hall instead of into room. Bath door opens into bath room. Anyway closet door was fine . I took it off because I had found that not having a closed up closet for four years our clothes stayed fresher. The closet could breath with the lace curtains. Made the room feel so much bigger too. Need to make the curtains full or it will look like a dark hole. Chris |
Thanks! I think I'll actually use both ideas curtains for now check the salvage yard later. The money I'll save I'll put towards one of those cool fire pits and burn the doors. |
I have the bi-fold doors on my closet also and they are awful. Mine are four doors, big heavy, and as large as the bedroom door. Since the bedroom was built in the attic of this Capecod house, there is not much we can do with the doors or closet, but I am open for ideas. Lousit |
One of the first things I did to the MB was remove the folding/sliding doors and add 2 standard ones. This actually increased the room in the closet. Of course "room" is relative to our small spaces, but I can easily get to all and see what is there too. Am planning on doing this to the other 2 bedrooms. No new frame was needed, ripped out the sliding door runners and used the existing framing. Had the standard doors cut to fit opening (not a lot had to be cut off) and used the door hinges. Try Habitat Restore for used doors, as well as new ones for saving costs involved. You could also use the existing doors Get rid of current hardware, use standard door hinges and trim out the frame to eliminate any gaps. |

In the homes that were built here in our area of florida, they had those aweful plywood sliding doors..ugh. With small bedrooms, it was so cumbersome to get into the closets. After battling them for longer than I should have, I decided to take them off my bedroom and put nice lacey sheers which I also bought the window curtains to go with it. For our grandsons room I opted for accordian doors which have a white wooden look to them, and are more spacious to get into as well as easier for him to open and close. |
